Coach Montella wants Turkish players to forget the 1-6 loss to Austria

The match between Türkiye and Austria will take place at 02:00 on July 3 (Vietnam time), at Red Bull Arena, in Leipzig (Germany).

Before the match, Austria coach Ralf Rangnick said: "We know Türkiye is a very emotional team, so we need to be in the best condition, both physically and mentally, for this match."

"We need to prepare carefully for every possibility that may happen in the Euro 2024 round of 16 match," coach Ralf Rangnick added.

It is worth noting that Austria was the top team in Group D, although in the group stage they had to compete with very strong teams including France and the Netherlands. In fact, in the group stage, Austria even beat the Netherlands 3-2.

That's why coach Ralf Rangnick confidently declared: "It's no coincidence that we have a good start in this year's tournament. The Austrian team is full of energy."

Another notable detail is that Austria beat Türkiye 6-1 in March this year, in a friendly match in Vienna (Austria).

This is something that can help coach Ralf Rangnick's team gain more confidence. However, coach Vincenzo Montella of the Turkish team is not too concerned about the 1-6 loss mentioned above. Mr. Montella said: "It was a very different match now. I think Mr. Ralf Rangnick also knows that."

"We are not going to Euro 2024 to take revenge for the above match. My players need to keep their heads clear. We need to focus on the upcoming match," coach Montella reminded his players.

Interestingly, both Austria and Türkiye could be dark horses at Euro 2024. They are in the not-so-strong bracket. This bracket has only England and the Netherlands, who are theoretically highly rated. The remaining teams are not stronger than Austria and Turkey.
